The Seattle Seahawks claimed their second Super Bowl title Sunday night, defeating the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. It was a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX from 2015, where the Patriots won 28-24 on the infamous goal-line interception. This time, Seattle flipped the script with a strong ground game and a defense that controlled the tempo from start to finish.
The Seahawks built their lead methodically. They took a 3-0 advantage after the first quarter on a Jason Myers field goal. Myers added three more field goals in the second quarter—setting a Super Bowl record with five total in the game—to push the score to 12-0 at halftime. New England managed zero points in the first half, as Seattle’s defense limited the Patriots to minimal yardage and forced turnovers from quarterback Drake Maye.
Kenneth Walker III led the offensive effort for Seattle. The running back carried the ball 27 times for 135 yards, averaging five yards per carry, and added two receptions for 26 yards. His consistent runs kept the chains moving and gave the Seahawks time of possession advantages throughout. Quarterback Sam Darnold completed passes efficiently when needed, finishing with around 200 yards and one touchdown pass, including a connection to tight end or receiver in the red zone.
The third quarter saw more of the same defensive dominance. Seattle extended the lead to 15-0 with another Myers field goal before the Patriots finally got on the board late. New England scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter, but Seattle answered with a touchdown drive—capped by a Darnold pass—to make it 22-7.
The Seahawks added a late field goal and sealed the win as the Patriots tacked on a consolation score with under two minutes left.Walker was named Super Bowl MVP, the first running back to earn the honor since Terrell Davis in Super Bowl XXXII after the 1997 season.
His performance outshone expectations in a game that was billed around quarterbacks but turned into a showcase for the ground attack and defense.The Seahawks’ defense sacked Maye multiple times and forced at least two interceptions and a fumble, contributing to three turnovers.
Special teams played clean, with no major mistakes on either side beyond the scoring disparity.This victory gives Seattle their second championship in franchise history, both built around stout defense and opportunistic offense. The Patriots, in their bid for a record seventh title, were held in check offensively for most of the night.
Final: Seahawks 29, Patriots 13. A straightforward, low-scoring affair decided by execution on the ground and stopping the run/pass balance on defense.
